Here is some advice's about Getting around in Pattaya |
|
| The
Bathbus |
|
|
|
|
The Bathbuses
are the most used transportation by tourists, they are everywhere and the
can go everywhere. |
|
|
|
On the main
traffic roads they runs like a bus, just get on when one is passing by, they
uses the horn to get your attention, otherwise you can raise your hand when
you see them come at distance, then they stoppes and pick you up, if they
not are on a "special ride". |
|
|
|
The prize for
the bustrip in the Bathbus is 10 Bath. |
|
|
|
The "special
ride" you can get yourself, just there are no other passengers in the
Bathbus, you can ask the driver to dirve you somewhere you like to go, you
must make an agreement with the driver about the prize for the ride. |
|
|
|
The prize's are
printed on a sticker in the back of the car, covering the most known places
and areas in town, and after a look at the map of Pattaya, and a little
reading of the prize's then you can get a fair prize for your ride. |
|
|
|
If you make an agreement, about getting
driven to some place, and the driver shall pick you up later or wait,
remember first to pay when you have returned, or completely finished
your ride, otherwise you might find out that you lost your ride back. |

| Motorcycle
Taxi |
|
|
|
|
The motorcycle
taxis are the most used transportation by the Thais, they are almost like
bathbuses, everywhere and the can go everywhere, but they can go ways the
bathbus not can go, and they can also drive between the cars in the lanes on
the heavy trafficked roads, so a fast way to get around. |
|
|
|
The motorcycle
taxis are not recommended to use, they drive in a way that makes the
passengers feel unsafe, and they have a generally disrespect of traffic
rules and laws, motorcycles are involved in most of traffic accidents in
town, some of them are also including the motorcycle taxis. |
|
|
|
The prize for
the ride are like the bathbuses, an agreement between the driver and the
passenger. |
|
|
|
The motorcycle
taxis does not have a printed prizelist like the bathbuses, but from what
heard, then they are more friendly and reasonable with prizes, than
bathbusdrivers. |
